Indonesia issued a red alert after the Sinabung volcano on the island of Sumatra erupted, forcing the evacuation of thousands of people.

Although mount Sinabung's have spewed smoke and ash weaker than the first and the second day of eruption, the agency officials have not seen any signs to downgrade the alert status of the mount so far.

Australian Broadcasting Company says: "There are still around 23,000 internally displaced people (IDPs), living in camps. And volcanologists say the situation remains at the alert level."
